laser

Avatar n tn Is it pretty common for the laser surgery (to remove scar tissue) to not be successful? The doctor says I have a "tag" hanging and will have to be removed by surgery. Sounds like the laser surgery was not properly done. Thanks for your response.
Avatar f tn The only treatment is removal by surgery with/without skin grafting (depending on the size of the lesion) or use of laser (CO2 Laser). It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Avatar f tn Can laser surgery to dissolve film after cataract surgery (secondary) contribute to problems with glare? I had cataract surgery both eyes about 2 yrs. ago to correct glare problems (no blurring) That helped about a year & then it came back. I had laser tx. to remove film about 4 months ago, it has not helped. Then I had eyelid surgery about a month ago to help ptosis. Does it take a while for my eyes to recover from the laser? It is a little better now but barely.
Avatar m tn thanks for the feedback, i'm a little puzzled about something due to the surgery part, you might have an answer. well, i've read that surgery is to remove the fat in the under eyes but does it also remove the dark circles or the darkness will remain there after the fat is removed?
Avatar n tn I have similar thing, nothing bad enough that I've ever had anything done about it. But if I was going to, I do believe that a medical dermabrasion may help or chemical peel. There are different levels of chemical peels and insurance won't cover bcuz it's considered cosmetic. Your best bet is to see a plastic surgeon. Good luck!
Avatar n tn t really target a certain area to lose the fat and we have to lose overall body fat... But I really just want to lose the flab in my upper arms and stomach without losing my *** or breast. I know that liposuction and tummy tuck is an option for me but I cannot afford the cost and all the complications that come with it.
Avatar m tn diabetic bleeding in the back of the eye may be due to growth of abnormal blood vessels. Sometimes surgery is required to remove blood (to see better) and to do more laser inside of the eye during surgery. Most patients though could be managed with injections of a medication into the eye (anti VEGF therapy) every 4-6 weeks and laser once there is an adequate view to perform more laser.

Avatar n tn Facial spider veins can be tricky to remove because facial vein treatments are often limited to Laser Vein Removal, since Sclerotherapy and vein removal surgery can leave permanent scarring. Laser Vein Removal—Laser Vein Removal has become the preferred method of getting rid of spider veins. Facial spider veins in particular were once difficult to treat, but lasers and IPL have made it effortless. Lasers work by targeting the blood in your spider veins.
Avatar n tn t have any. Does Wa. state have any ent doctors that use laser to remove nodules. I have never had general surgery, it scares me. I was told there is no rush to have the surgery.

Avatar f tn one year before my doctor diagnosed that I had gall stone when there was a terrible pain and vomiting. He suggested me to remove it as gall stones are mobile. After that I went on low fat diet. Nothing happen for almost 6 to 7 months. Last week I ate spicy food and there was a gallstone attack. It was a terrible pain with numbness of hand and feet. I ended up to emergency as my husband mistook it as heart attack. Everything was normal- my blood pressure and I had no temperature.

Avatar f tn Hi, I had a mole on my face and I did a mole excursion, a small brown spot grew back, and I did a mole laser removal surgery to get it remove. However after the laser removal surgery, my mole is not disorted and grown, it doesn't seem to be a tissue scar cause it is dark brown and a raiser lump has occurred. Is this an indication of something? Can I get mole removal again using laser or excision or it would keep coming back? Thanks!

Avatar f tn I have a solution for you. I think that your problem is hemosiderin staining--your skin has been stained by your blood. I had the same problem from a black eye I got from having eye surgery. Try googling "hemosiderin staining candela laser" to locate a small study showing that an AlexTriVantage laser can remove this type of discoloration. I used the doctor locator feature on the website to find a dermatologist in my area.

Avatar f tn Hi there. I don’t think that laser surgery could remove the scar tissue of the sciatic nerve. you need to consult a neurosurgeon for correct and updated information on this. Tae care.
Avatar n tn A friend e-mailed be saying that, following a laser procedure for prostate cancer, his doctor was unable to remove his catheter. I'll be seeing him fairly soon (at his request), but I do not know (and he did not tell me) what the failure to remove the catheter implies for his health. I'm not even sure what type of catheter it is. I'm worried, and I do not want to ask him about it, as I'm fearing the worst and don't wan't to risk upsetting him with an e-mail inquiry.
Avatar f tn My 6 year old son has a large angioma on his cheek. It started out tiny but has grown to almost the size of a pencil eraser. We took him to a dermatologist & decided to get laser treatments in hopes of minimizing scarring. He had is his first laser treatment but so far it hasn't made a difference (a bit bumpier), in fact the angioma has only gotten worse/bigger.
Avatar f tn It is riskier to have an iol removed after that length of time, but it can be done. Ask the surgeon if he/she has experience with this type of surgery. Does the iol really need to be removed? If it's just gel trapped behind, then a yag laser can be done, but if something is trapped behind the iol that a laser won't relieve, then it can be removed and a new one placed.
Avatar m tn Hi Darren. In muy case they opened me to remove a 42mm x 35mm stone, they said they could not "locate" the stone and they ended up cutting out my entire kidney. Later I learned that somehow it is not that easy as we would assume to open the kidney and look for stones inside. Plus 2 weeks after my surgery I was producing stones and sand in my kidney (the only one left). It is too soon for any type of surgery and I would not think you are ready for that.

However depending on the thickness of your cornea and its radius of curvature and the length of your eyes a type surface laser (PRK) might reduce the numbers 6-7 diopters to -4 and -1.00 to 0.00 You would need to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist that specializes in corneal/refractive surgery.
